The Basic Rider Training is a 15 hour class for both the beginner and riders with limited experience. Even though this is a basic class, many experienced riders have benefitted from this class. The course will help develop your skills for becoming a safe and responsible motorcyclist. You will learn the physical and mental skills important for operating a 2-Wheel motorcycle, ways to minimize risk and how to handle special riding situations.
Even though a minimal amount of strength is required to ride a motorcycle, you must possess some stamina to complete this class. You will be required to "Straddle Walk" your motorcycle from one side of the range to the other, as well as turn the motorcycle around numerous times while in Neutral during the second exercise.

- Glasses, Sunglasses, Goggles, or Face Shield
- Full Fingered Gloves(Leather is preferable)
